A small pathetically deteriorating city in South Jersey and is considered the skid mark of Cumberland County. Normal people reluctantly drive through it to travel to more important cities the Garden State has to offer. It is composed of rednecks, wannabe gangsters, drug addicts, teen pregnancy, and your occasional college scholar who eventually moves out and never returns. While driving through the city please be careful for the natives tend to run in front of your car in the middle of the day either chasing after a ball or a female. Rotten collapsing structures, also known as historical sites are unpleasant to see and do not be surprised to see 10 or more underaged pregnant women with strollers carrying more children walking down one street. It is one of those cities where the only difference between a cop and a criminal is that a criminal makes more money... Illegal immigration and gang activity are considered hobbies and car insurance is encouraged for the possibility of a hit and run accident buy an intoxicated illegal motorist.....

guy 2 "Really? How was it?"

guy 1 "A drunk hit my parked car with his pickup truck and drove off, the police tried the trace his Pennsylvania license plates but they were fake."
